Is my 8-week old kitten sick? Vomiting, hot, and very sleepy.

Question

Does white cottage cheese like vomit from 8 week old kitten, feeling hot and sleeping for hours mean she is ill?

Dr. Davis · Accepted Answer

That is not normal behavior from a young kitten. Yes it sounds like she has a fever and stomach upset. Since she’s so small and sick she should have veterinary treatment soon so she doesn’t get worse. Healthy kittens are very playful and don’t vomit or sleep that much. Please take her in for treatment. They will give medication to resolve the vomiting and reduce her fever if she has one. She may need fluids to prevent dehydration and she may need to be dewormed also. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to help you care for your kitten.
